I made many visits to Chef Kevin Adey’s former kitchen at neighborhood staple Northeast Kingdom, so when he opened Faro with his partner Debbie Adey in mid-May of this year, I was lined up at the door
We are fast approaching the one year mark of Bushwick Brews! It’s hard to believe that one year ago I was shooting the shit with Maria Gotay (our lovely Music Editor) telling her in way to much detail the scoop about the beer I had brought in a growler to our rooftop BBQ
Antonio Campanelli at Pasta Shop (All photos by Bart Koscinski for Bushwick Daily). “Here the menu is really, really simple,” Antonio Campanelli says. “But that’s because my grandfather taught me, if you want to taste the chef order something really, really simple. That way he can’t fake it.” With a sparse menu highlighting eight pasta dishes, […]
It’s hard to believe that Bushwick’s craft beer gem The Sampler opened one year ago this weekend
Inside Finback Brewery (All photos by Bart Koscinski for Bushwick Daily). New York summer madness seems to have gotten the best of me, so this is my first column in a couple of weeks. But hopefully I’ve got things under control now and will be sharing biweekly beer things with you again. A few weeks […]
ALl photos by Bart Koscinski for Bushwick Daily. It may still be jacket weather in the shade for all but the most hearty Bushwickians, but the sun was out in full force for most of the weekend. Although some of us may have only made it out of bed early enough to catch the last […]
The Clipper City Tall Ship (All photos by Bart Koscinski for Bushwick Daily) We all know that summer is perhaps New York’s finest season of revelry—bringing us free concerts, outdoor movie screenings, and festivals, fleas, and farmer’s markets galore. It also marks the return of one of my favorite New York summer activities: the Craft Beer […]

The Well (Photos by Bart Koscinski for Bushwick Daily) This week we took a break from tasting beer to get you the scoop behind the new bar that have a huge impact on Bushwick’s beer scene this summer. Two years ago Josh Richholt and Shay Vishawadi bought large chunks of a massive brick building on […]
I love the small, Gowanus-based gypsy brewery, Grimm Artisanal Ales, which I wrote about last November for a Bushwick Brews column
Ever heard if the penis game? You know, the one where two or more people take turns yelling “penis” getting progressively louder each time
All photos by Bart Koscinski for Bushwick Daily I’ve previously written about the love between Barrier Brewing Co. and Miles, one of our favorite local beer haunts, which dedicates one of their seven taps to the Long Island brewery at all times. But this past week Miles took their relationship to the next level, letting Barrier take over all […]
Miles – one of our favorite beer and eats joints – has always dedicated one tap to the wonderful Long Island brewery, Barrier Brewing Co., but this week they’re taking their longterm relationship to the next level. Starting yesterday, for 7 days all 7 taps at Miles will feature a different Barrier brew. Not only that, but […]

Dear Bushwick has been a neighborhood hit since they first opened their doors on Wilson Ave in the fall of 2012 and introduced us to a classy modern version of British pub food, (hold the mushy peas)! Perhaps there is no better reflection of the British joint done on New York soil of than their taplist, which currently features malty brews from the cosmopolitan epicenters on both sides of the pond: the Coffee Porter from Meantime, a brewery based in London, and ERIC More Cowbell! Chocolate Milk Stout from SingleCut, a small Queens-based craft brewery
I’ve never been one to watch “the game” on Sundays
During the last six months of 2013 I discovered some rockin’ brews being served up in our neighborhood, from local taps at dives and restaurants to fledging breweries pouring their own beers with great plans on the horizon for our local beer scene
There’s been a lot of buzz going on in Bushwick about Union Pizza Works, the pizzeria that opened its doors two Fridays ago on Troutman Street
I don’t know if anyone else has noticed, but it’s been a bit chilly outside as of late
Holiday beers are not my thing
This week I’m going to digress from my usual comments on the neighborhood brews to bring you to my small hometown in the heartland of America
I’m a little bit terrified of Belgian beers
The first few truly wintery days this past week put me into full hibernation mode
As cold season approaches and folks are lining up for flu shots, I’ve got a novel new way for you to get your nutrition
“We’re trying to come up with a sign,” Blake Jordan told me yesterday afternoon inside the newly opened Hops & Hocks on Morgan Ave as we discussed growler etiquette
The good news about Bushwick’s new brewery Braven Brewing Company just got better
Remember my rant that Bushwick which once produced 10% of America’s beer is shamefully lacking any local breweries today? Well, Marshall Thompson and Eric Feldman are stepping up to fill our neighborhood’s dark, brewery-less void, with plans to open Braven Brewing Company on Bushwick soil within the next year
